ABOUT THIS VIRTUAL INSTRUCTOR LED TRAINING (VILT)
Hydrogen will play an increasingly critical role in the future of energy system
as it moves forward to supplement and potentially replace fossil fuels in the
long run. Offshore wind offers a clean and sustainable renewable resource for
green hydrogen production. However, it can also be volatile and presents
inherent risks that need to be managed. Even though offshore production of
hydrogen has yet to achieve a high state of maturity, many current projects are
already dealing with the conditions and effects of offshore production of
hydrogen and are grappling with the technological requirements and necessary gas
transportation with grid integration.
This 2 half-day Virtual Instructor Lead Training (VILT) course will examine the
technological options for on-site production of hydrogen by electrolysis
(onshore or offshore directly at the platform) as well as the transport of
hydrogen (pipeline or ship). This VILT course will also explore the economic
considerations and the outlook on future market opportunities. There will be
exercises for the participants to work on over the two half-days.
This course is delivered in partnership with Fraunhofer IEE.
Training Objectives
By the end of this VILT course, participants will be able to:
* Understand the technological attributes and options for green hydrogen
production based on electricity from offshore wind.
* Explore the associated economic analysis for offshore wind hydrogen
production, including CAPEX, OPEX, LCOE and LCOH
* Identify the critical infrastructure and technical configuration required for
offshore green hydrogen including transportation networks and grid
connectivity
* Learn from recent findings from current Research & Development projects
concerning the differences between onshore and offshore hydrogen production.
Target Audience
This VILT course is intended:
* Renewable energy developers and operators
* Offshore oil & gas operators
* Energy transport and marine operators
* Energy policy makers and regulators
* IPPs and power utilities
Training Methods
The VILT course will be delivered online in 2 half-day sessions comprising 4
hours per day, including time for lectures, discussion, quizzes and short
classroom exercises.
Course Duration: 2 half-day sessions, 4 hours per session (8 hours in total).
Trainer
Trainer 1:
Your expert course leader is Director of Energy Process Technology Division at
the Fraunhofer Institute for Energy Economics and Energy System Technology, IEE.
The research activities of the division link the areas of energy conversion
processes and control engineering. The application fields covered are renewable
energy technologies, energy storage systems and power to gas with a strong focus
on green hydrogen. From 2006 - 2007, he worked as a research analyst of the
German Advisory Council on Global Change, WBGU, Berlin. He has extensive
training experience from Bachelor and Master courses at different universities
as well as in the context of international training activities - recently on
hydrogen and PtX for partners in the MENA region and South America. He holds a
University degree (Diploma) in Physics, University of Karlsruhe (KIT).
Trainer 2:
Your expert course leader is Deputy Head of Energy Storage Department at
Fraunhofer IEE. Prior to this, he was the director of the Grid Integration
Department at SMA Solar Technology AG, one of the world's largest manufacturers
of PV power converters. Before joining SMA, he was manager of the Front Office
System Planning at Amprion GmbH (formerly RWE TSO), one of the four German
transmission system operators. He holds a Degree of Electrical Engineering from
the University of Kassel, Germany. In 2003, he finished his Ph.D. (Dr.-Ing.) on
the topic of wind power forecasting at the Institute of Solar Energy Supply
Technology (now known as Fraunhofer IEE) in Kassel. In 2004, he started his
career at RWE TSO with a main focus on wind power integration and congestion
management. He is Chairman of the IEC SC 8A 'Grid Integration of Large-capacity
Renewable Energy (RE) Generation' and has published several papers about grid
integration of renewable energy source and forecasting systems on books,
magazines, international conferences and workshops.
Trainer 3:
Your expert course leader is Deputy Director of the Energy Process Technology
division and Head of the Renewable Gases and Bio Energy Department at Fraunhofer
IEE. His work is mainly focused on the integration of renewable gases and
bioenergy systems into the energy supply structures. He has been working in this
field since more than 20 years. He is a university lecturer in national and
international master courses. He is member of the scientific advisory council of
the European Biogas Association, member of the steering committee of the
Association for Technology and Structures in Agriculture, member of the
International Advisory Committee (ISAC) of the European Biomass Conference and
member of the scientific committees of national bioenergy conferences. He
studied mechanical engineering at the University of Darmstadt, Germany. He
received his Doctoral degree on the topic of aerothermodynamics of gas turbine
combustion chambers. He started his career in renewable energies in 2001, with
the topic of biogas fired micro gas turbines.
Trainer 4:
Your expert course leader has an M. Sc. and she joined Fraunhofer IEE in 2018.
In the Division of Energy Process Technology, she is currently working as a
Research Associate on various projects related to techno-economic analysis of
international PtX projects and advises KfW Development Bank on PtX projects in
North Africa. Her focus is on the calculation of electricity, hydrogen and
derivative production costs (LCOE, LCOH, LCOA, etc) based on various methods of
dynamic investment costing. She also supervises the development of models that
simulate different PtX plant configurations to analyze the influence of
different parameters on the cost of the final product, and to find the
configuration that gives the lowest production cost. She received her Bachelor's
degree in Industrial Engineering at the HAWK in Göttingen and her Master's
degree in renewable energy and energy efficiency at the University of Kassel.
POST TRAINING COACHING SUPPORT (OPTIONAL)
To further optimise your learning experience from our courses, we also offer
individualized 'One to One' coaching support for 2 hours post training. We can
help improve your competence in your chosen area of interest, based on your
learning needs and available hours. This is a great opportunity to improve your
capability and confidence in a particular area of expertise. It will be
delivered over a secure video conference call by one of our senior trainers.
They will work with you to create a tailor-made coaching program that will help
you achieve your goals faster.
